Welcome to Tempe. It's the seventh Ford Ironman Arizona event. (In case you're keeping track and wondering about that statement, remember that there were two races in 2008 - one in April and another in November.) This race, on paper, promises to be the most competitive of the lot, with a stacked men's and women's pro field among the more than 2,500 athletes registered.
Our live coverage this weekend includes our live text updates that you're reading right now posted by Kevin Mackinnon, live athlete tracking, photos courtesy of Action Sports International and live video with a veritable who's who of race hosts working with Greg Welch and Lisa Bentley including Chris McDonald, Matt Lieto, Hillary Biscay and Samantha McGlone.
